We have been working for quite some time to get this put together and ready for public use. Rather than simply using forum post attachments, this is an entire dedicated file hosting system. Being based upon the platform I built for Morrowind Modding History, this was designed specifically for mods.

There some nifty features we want to emphasize:

Upload files up to 300MB in size.

Attach unlimited additional files to a single download entry.

Include as many screenshots as you wish.

Full BBCode support in descriptions; this means you can style your text, include images, even embed YouTube videos!

Authors can enable/disable public comments and screenshot uploading.

We are constantly working on improving SEO; so search engines everywhere will be able to quickly find your files.

Now, to address some potential technical concerns you may have:

We run a full rsync backup to a remote server every night. There is also a weekly compressed file backup done which is stored on a 3rd server that is in a different physical location. Your files will never be lost.

We run up-to-the-minute database backups on a remote server. So comments and descriptions and other changes are mirrored almost immediately.

There are several layers of security. We won't get into details here, so let it suffice to say we have confidence.

All of the GHF network sites run on an OnApp-driven VPS cloud. As such, no single point of hardware failure can have a long-term effect on the stability of the sites. And the SAN that runs our particular VPS is hosted in a Tier III secure data center.

Dayam, Fliggerty! Do you have teams of Ninja Monkeys guarding the data center, too? I DEFINITELY wanna store my mods here. This sounds like the Fort Knox of Morrowind Modding files!

A day may come, when the courage of Morrowind modders fails, when we forsake our uploads and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of new games and shattered downloadable files when the age of Morrowind modding comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good island of Vvardenfell (and the rest of Morrowind to you folks at Tamriel Rebuilt), I bid you, stand, men of the East!

One problem, minor, but there. When entering the description during the initial upload submission, the formatting is lost. I had to go back into the edit interface to restore the spacing between paragraphs.

The screenshot upload button also doesn't seem to recognize when a file is selected. Maybe that can only be done after the entry is approved though so now that mine have been I'll try it again.

Tweaking...not drugs, just the site

No javascript errors.I click "upload screenshots". It opens the box to pick a file. I click browse. The window opens to select one. I pick a file. Nothing after that happens. The file selection box shows no text, nothing in the small box immediately above it changes. I never get to a point of being asked for a caption.

Firefox 6.0 release version. I don't have NoScript installed so it isn't being randomly blocked.

I cannot replicate the problems with the screenshot uploads. I've tried it in several browsers, all with perfect success. I am curious if anyone else can replicate it?

Do you happen to have the Firefox extension Firebug? If so, please open the Firebug console and refresh the page then try it again. That will tell you if there are indeed any javascript errors of any sort.

Tweaking...not drugs, just the site

Exactly, sometimes it doesn't load. I notice though that the GET header is looking for tiny_mce.js but in your HTML source, you've got the script line looking for tinymce.js - without the underscore. Maybe it's trying to load two different versions of itself?
